Friday's Notebook

April 19, 1986

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela and his wife, Linda, became parents for the third time when a daughter was born to the couple. The infant was born at 1:07 a.m. Friday and was named Linda. The couple also has two sons -- Fernando Jr., who is 3, and Ricardo, who is 2. Valenzuela was scheduled to pitch for the Dodgers in Atlanta against the Braves Friday night. After the game he was to return to Los Angeles to be with his family over the weekend. He would rejoin the Dodgers at San Francisco early next week.
